Chapter 100 False pregnancy

The cherries knelt on the ground, and water droplets dripped from the tips of the hair, forming shallow puddles on the ground. She was completely drenched and her face was wet, and she couldn’t tell whether it was rain or tears.

Regardless of her embarrassed appearance, Cherry banged her head to Master Tang: “Wang Hao, please save the lychee. The slave and maidservant grew up with her, and she knows how stupid her brain and courage are. She will never It will be mystery and deceive the prince and the son!”

Master Tang frowned slowly, listening to Cherry’s meaning, I’m afraid that Litchi’s pregnancy has changed. Master Tang motioned to Dujuan and asked her to take a piece of dry cotton for the cherry, and said: “Don’t get excited, wipe the water on your body first. What happened?”

Cherry passively took the cotton cloth and wiped her face in a daze. The drops of water on the eyes were wiped dry, and the cherry heart slowly settled.

She knew that it was right to come to the princess. In the huge palace, only the princess was able to take care of lychees. The lychees are saved!

Cherry clenched the cotton cloth in her hand, walked two steps on her knees, and said bitterly: “If you go back to the princess, the imperial physician found out that the lychee was a fake pregnancy. But please ask the princess Mingjian, lychee has no guts to deceive the son! When the imperial physician first diagnosed the pulse, she was really caught Ximai was diagnosed. She was a silly person. The doctor said that she was pregnant. She believed it. These days, she waited silly. I didn’t expect that when Yuehong came a few days ago, she realized something was wrong… She came to me to get it. Idea, I persuaded her to confess with the concubine Shizi, but she did not expect to be found by Shizi before she had time to speak.”

Master Tang frowned as she heard it, the Litchi was pregnant a while ago, and after a long period of trouble, it turned out to be a fake pregnancy? Lychee and Cherry are good sisters. Master Tang didn’t fully believe what Cherry said. Master Tang thought about it and decided to ask a few more people to be on the safe side.

Master Tang asked: “Why did the prince discover her fake pregnancy? Who else knows about this apart from you?”

“The maidservant is also not clear, but the maidservant dared to use her life as a guarantee and never told anyone.” Cherry looked anxiously, looking at Tang Shishi pleadingly, “Princess, please be merciful and save the lychee. I don’t hear it. Anyone who provoked, felt that the lychee was deliberately pretending to be pregnant in order to seek the position of the concubine. The son was furious and said that he wanted to kill the lychee.

“Seek the position of a side concubine…” Master Tang slowly repeated these words, suddenly a flash of inspiration, his eyes widened, “No!”

Teacher Tang made people look at Zhao Zigao, she took the maid and hurriedly walked to Yi Nian Yuan. At first, Master Tang also suspected that these two maids were acting in a fake pregnancy deliberately. After being discovered, they came to deceive Master Tang and wanted to use Master Tang’s hand to get out. But after Cherry mentioned the side concubine, Master Tang suddenly remembered that the two concubines who were diagnosed as pregnant were both Lu Yufei’s dowry maids, in case this series was not aimed at lychee and other maids, but at Lu Yufei. Are you here?

The rain was so hot that when Shishi Tang rushed to the Yinianyuan, the corners of the skirt were already wet. As soon as she stepped into the gate of Yi Nianyuan, she was taken aback by the scene inside: “The concubine?”

Lu Yufei knelt in the rain, and Mother Zhang also knelt behind him, anxiously holding an umbrella for her. However, the umbrella can only cover the upper body, and Lu Yufei’s knees have been completely wet.

Grandma Zhang was anxious Liushen Wuzhu. She heard a voice behind her. When she turned around, she saw that it was Tang Shishi. She was overjoyed: “Wang Hao! Wang Hao, please call the shots!”

Master Tang curled his eyebrows, and slowly approached from the hand-picked veranda. She stopped in front of the corridor, half a stone tunnel across, and asked: “What the **** is going on? Why is the concubine Shizi kneeling here?”

“Wang Hao, he was instigated by those little bitches, and he misunderstood the son and concubine, thinking that the son and concubine was planning for the side concubine. Wang Hao Mingjian, the son and concubine is already a regular wife, what did she do for the side concubine? Why did the lychee and pomegranate pretend to be pregnant? The concubine does not know.”

Master Tang raised her eyebrows quietly, Yo, not only was the litchi fake pregnancy, but the pomegranate pregnancy was also fake. Lu Yufei’s somersault is really ruthless, such an old trick, I am afraid that the hand behind the scenes is an acquaintance.

Teacher Tang immediately thought of Zhou Shunhua. However, it is not the time to say this, Master Tang did not say anything, and said to Lu Yufei lightly: “It is rainy and cold, how can the female family bear kneeling? The concubine, let’s get up.”

Lu Yufei’s face was pale, and his voice hoarsely said: “However, Shizi is getting angry. Shizi said let me reflect outside.”

“The son is so majestic.” Master Tang glanced down at Lu Yufei, gathered the cloak on her body, and said, “No matter how bad my princess is, it will eventually be his aunt. I still managed to do this. Get up.”

“Thank you, Concubine!” Grandma Zhang responded in a hurry, and quickly helped Lu Yufei to get up. With the words of Master Tang, even if Zhao Zixun is held accountable in the end, they can be pushed to Master Tang.

As for how Teacher Tang confessed, Mother Zhang didn’t care.

Lu Yufei staggered to his feet, and was **** with a cloak by the maidservant, his face pale as paper. Master Tang asked: “Where is the elder son?”

“The son is interrogating lychees and pomegranates in the backyard.” Mother Zhang wiped the rain off her face and took the initiative to lead the way, “The rain is heavy today, and the son doesn’t know that the princess is coming. The princess, please come with the old slave.”

The Yinianyuan is like a shrunken palace with a straight central axis and complete front, middle and back structures. Lu Yufei lived in the front main room, and the back cover room, side hall, and cross courtyard were used to house Zhao Zixun’s concubine room. Master Tang walked to the backyard of Yi Nian Yard, and just walked into the Kwan Yard, he heard a crisp tea cup cracking: “Now, what else do you two have to say?”

In the room, the woman’s mournful begging for mercy sounded: “The elder son is forgiving, and the concubine really doesn’t know anything. The concubine didn’t intentionally pretend to be pregnant. It was clearly not said by the imperial physician a month ago.”

There was only one woman’s voice, it sounded that the other person was already frightened. When Zhao Zixun heard the plea, he didn’t pity and Xiyu, but became even more angry: “So, could it be the imperial doctor who wronged you?”

The woman was crying, she said not to dare. The imperial physician stepped forward and said: “The elder son Mingjian, the minister has practiced medicine for many years, and his medical virtues are clear, and he has no shame in his heart. The minister and Aunt Pomegranate have no grievances and no enmity. They only met today for the first time. How could the minister trap Aunt Pomegranate? The two aunts, pomegranate and lychee, are indeed not pregnant. If the elder does not believe in the minister, you can change to another person for follow-up.”

Zhao Zixun said: “You don’t need to say anything about the imperial doctor, I can certainly trust you. It was these two cheap maids who were brave enough to come, and pulled them out and killed them.”

There was a cry in the room, and the pomegranate yelled for injustice. Another woman seemed to have finally reacted, crying and begging: “My son, all mistakes are the slave’s fault. For the servant’s sake, please don’t To anger other people, the concubine is innocent.”

However, Zhao Zixun was already very bored, and he still cared about the friendship of Yunyuzhihuan. He didn’t even look at the two maids on the ground, and said coldly: “Drag it out and die.”

The woman inside promised and dragged the two maids and walked out. The two maids were crying and struggling, but the mother-in-law did not hesitate to drag them to the door rudely: “Both hooves, are you safer, you deceive your son, and dare to call injustice? Let you have a good experience today. The rules of the palace… Yeah, the princess?”

Master Tang stood under the corridor with his hands, quietly watching the farce inside: “What rules, why don’t I know?”

The people inside heard the sound and hurried out. Zhao Zixun walked out the door with a sullen face, and saw that it was Master Tang who was really standing outside, his brows wrung tightly: “Wang Concubine, why are you here?”

A group of women walked out following Zhao Zixun and saw Master Tang, each with their own expressions. They suppressed their true thoughts and graciously bowed to Master Tang: “See the princess.”

“The sound of you crying and crying here is almost reaching Yan’an Yard. The son asked me why I came here?” Master Tang was wearing a cloak and climbing up the steps. Du Juan held an umbrella for Master Tang while waiting for Master Tang to walk behind the eaves. , Dujuan turned and tilted the umbrella surface and leaned the rain gear on the porch.

Another maid handed over the handkerchief. Master Tang took the handkerchief and wiped the water on her hands. He did not hesitate to ask: “The concubine Shizi knelt in the rain to reflect. The two maids will also be killed by the stick. Should the Shizi give it to him? Let me explain, what the **** is going on here?”

Zhao Zixun pursed her lips, really unwilling to let Master Tang interfere with this. He had a cold expression and hidden resistance in his tone: “This is my family affair, so I dare not worry about the princess.”

Master Tang gave a chuckle, and she handed the veil to the maid, clasping her hands in front of her, white and cold, exquisitely like jade: “In this palace, there are things that the princess can’t control?”

Master Tang used to call himself me before, but now he uses “this princess”. The atmosphere inside and outside the house is stagnant, and both the master and the subordinate, bow their heads at this moment and stare at the ground motionlessly.

In the backyard, only the sound of rain can be heard for a while.

Zhao Zixun was silent for a moment, arching his hands and bowing slightly: “The princess naturally has no taboos. These things may be soaked in the ears of the princess, please ask the princess Haihan.”

“It’s okay.” Master Tang turned his eyes to the side of his eyes, pointed at someone at random, and said, “Just you, just tell the truth about what happened just now.”

The little maid was suddenly pointed out and panicked. She squatted and said: “Return to the princess, the people in the laundry shop today collected the clothes and accidentally found that there was blood on the auntie’s skirt. The laundry maid thought her auntie had a miscarriage, so she hurried to report it. The son, he did not expect a cross-examination, but found that it was not a small blood, but menstrual blood. The son was furious, and immediately called the imperial physician to come and diagnose the pulse of Aunt Lichee. When waiting for the imperial doctor, Aunt Pomegranate’s expression was not right. I was very annoyed. The elder concubine pleaded with the two aunts. In his anger, the elder concubine sent the concubine to kneel outside… The imperial physician came, and the imperial physician asked the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse of the two aunts. Unexpectedly, the two aunts were not pregnant… …”

At first glance, the maid’s remarks sounded very reasonable. During pregnancy, menstrual events would never come. The traces of lychee menstrual events were seen by others, and it was thus revealed that it was reasonable and reasonable. However, the problem also lies here. If the lychee is really pregnant, why should she send the blood-stained clothes to the laundry, she will not lose common sense to this. And how did a rough maid who washes clothes come into contact with the son?

Of course, the most important point is that lychees and pomegranates lie about pregnancy. What is the purpose? You can’t do anything like pregnancy, and you can’t give birth to a child after ten months, and they’re still waiting for death. The harem pet concubine dare not do this kind of civet cat exchange for the crown prince, two rootless maids, where are the courage?

Therefore, Master Tang is more inclined to believe that lychee and pomegranate really thought they were pregnant and reported happily, but they fell into the trap of others. Master Tang doesn’t understand pharmacology, but there are many capable people in the high gate compound. If there are certain drugs, they can show symptoms of pregnancy after taking them, so that even the pulse will change. It is not impossible.

It is easy to be misdiagnosed in the first three months of pregnancy. The imperial physicians are eager to infer that similar pulses are happily, which is not difficult to understand. The person behind the scenes meticulously designed a complete set, tempting lychees and pomegranates to step inside. Now, the spearhead is directed at Lu Yufei.

After all, Tang Shishi just said that whoever is pregnant can be a side concubine, and Lu Yufei’s two dowry maids have falsely claimed to be pregnant one after another. No one would believe that there were no instructions from Lu Yufei.

Master Tang sorted out and understood in her heart, she glanced at Zhou Shunhua lightly, and saw Zhou Shunhua lowered her head, looking sad and innocent. Master Tang sneered in his heart, and said faintly: “I promised to make a pregnant person a side concubine. I wanted to please, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. Lychee and pomegranate falsely report that they are pregnant, but they are only two people. A helpless maid, why do this kind of thing? I can understand the grief and anger of the world’s son, but after all, there are two lives. In my opinion, I might as well take a long-term plan and wait until it is clear.”

When Grandma Zhang heard these words, she hurriedly echoed: “What the princess said is! The elder son, the elder son is most looking forward to passing on the offspring. During this period of time, how many medicines and sufferings did you take to pray for your son? You don’t know! The concubine Shizi has a gentle and kind temperament. How could she do such deceitful things? Someone must be involved in this kind of deception. Please be aware of it.”

“Gentle and kind?” Zhao Zixun looked at Lu Yufei coldly, sneered, “I don’t think it is necessarily.”

Everyone heard the uproar. Looking at Zhao Zixun’s attitude, Zhao Zixun obviously did not believe that Lu Yufei was innocent. Lu Yufei’s face was very pale at first. When she heard Zhao Zixun’s words, the blood on her lips was lost, and she suddenly raised her head: “Shizi, do you doubt me?”

Zhao Zixun did not speak, but it was the biggest statement not to express his position. Lu Yufei seemed to be drained all over his body, half of his body softened, and almost fell: “We are husband and wife for two years, you don’t believe me?”

The maid lady quickly helped Lu Yufei. Zhou Shunhua stood beside Zhao Zixun, seeming to sigh, and persuade him: “The concubine, the concubine knows that you are reluctant to marry the maid, but you can’t blame the concubine. Could it be that they cheated the concubine, the concubine exposed the scam, or the concubine did it wrong? ?”

It’s okay for Zhou Shunhua not to speak. When she opened her mouth, Lu Yufei seemed to be more irritated, gritted her teeth and said, “We don’t need to be a concubine in the affairs of our husband.

Zhao Zixun had already calmed down. Hearing Lu Yufei’s words, his face became gloomy again: “Bold! Shunhua, if you think about it, even if you are not grateful, even if you are not grateful, you still insult her? You simply don’t know what is good or what is wrong, and you can’t bear it. wife.”

Lu Yufei’s tears fell: “I’m not worthy, then you divorce me and make her his wife!”

After Lu Yufei finished speaking, she pushed Grandma Zhang away abruptly, turned and ran out. However, it was raining outside and water accumulated on the steps. Lu Yufei was already inactive. At this moment, she was excited, did not see the way under her feet, accidentally stepped on and slipped, and fell heavily down the steps.

The female relatives suddenly screamed, and Mother Zhang gave a scream, and then rolled down the steps. Du Juan waited for the maid to be shocked, and immediately surrounded Master Tang. Master Tang said with a cold face, angrily: “Absurd!”

Teacher Tang said, walking quickly to the door, she looked down the steps and took a breath.

There was a cloud of blood on the steps, mixed with rain, splattering on the ground. Grandma Zhang held Lu Yufei with blood on her hands, and cried out: “Come on, go and call a doctor!”
